Check this out! Someone made a piece inspired by this one over at Instructables, and it's full of awesome and way cooler than mine. www.instructables.com/id/Sonic…

Yep, you're right - it is a sonic screwdriver -- specifically, the 10th Doctor's. Whovians rejoice!! (Not a sonic screwdriver, exactly, it's more of a sonic wand. Doesn't "avada kedavra," doesn't "crucio," doesn't "stupefy." But I'll tell you what it does do -- it is very good at "alohomora." It casts spells with one end and opens doors with the other!)

Unfortunately this wand has already been sold.

There's a lot of symbolism in this wand. I've labeled it as "yew," "phoenix tail feather," 10". Yes, it's nearly the same as Voldy's, but it does make sense. Yew is associated with birth and death, as is the life cycle of the phoenix, which is exemplified in the Doctor's regenerations. 10" is a reference to a few things: 1. the wand is based on the 10th Doctor's sonic screwdriver, 2. The Tenth Doctor was played by David TENnant, and 3. David Tennant's nickname was said on a British talk show to be "David Ten-inch." Yeah. [Someone suggested that I could have sent it to David as a fan-gift!]

It was hand-whittled from a wood dowel (species unknown), sanded with 100, 150, 300, and 600 grit sandpaper, hand-painted with acrylics, stained with cherry minwax stain, and finished with an acrylic varnish.

Usual disclaimer: My crafts are in no way associated with occult beliefs. Wandmaking is only a hobby and is my way of showing support for J.K. Rowling's wonderful world. All wand designs I make will not be repeated and are my original designs unless otherwise stated (and thus are (c) to me), and do not intentionally bear resemblance to any other wands found anywhere unless otherwise stated.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. From one fan to another, I really appreciate your passion and commitment to both fandoms. I wish that I shared your talents; I actually gasped when I came across this post. Keep doing what you're doing!

The early Marks? I like the Mark II the best of the early ones, so maybe I'll make that one... Aside from 11's, I also plan to make River's Sonic and the Master's Laser. I like the idea of Miss Foster's pen! Hadn't thought of that one

Haha, thanks!! (If only I could have gotten "Sherlock" in there too...but one can only dream, I guess) XD Maybe because people think magic and science don't mesh that well? I dunno, but I'm glad you like it!

This got a giggle out of me, it's pretty fabulous, isn't it? Though I must say I disagree with the wand wood/core choice. The Doctor would totally have a hawthorn wand, and I always saw him as a dragon heartstring, the most powerful of cores but the one most easily turned to dark magic. But that's a pretty silly criticism, really. Lovely wand!

Thanks! I can see why you like hawthorn. "Strange, contradictory nature" -- he's always saving planets and species, but juxtaposed with his hostility towards the Daleks... If you bring out that side of his personality (some regenerations more than others) then Dragon Heartstring totally fits as well.

Not only the contradictory nature (which by the way is said to be... paradoxical), but also the fact that the the leaves of Hawthorn can heal while it's bark smells of death. Subsequently it's very good at curative magic, but also adept at curses, which I think is a bit like the Doctor, he's known to manipulate people, really. Plus the fact that owners of hawthorn are said to have conflicted natures as well, and going through time of turmoil on top of that. So yeah... I think too much about these things.

(Side note: I showed this to one of my friends and her reaction was to immediately ask "Do you think it does wood?" I think this is a pressing question that needs to be answered. Well, does it?)
